Why are white men the predominant culprits to mass murder/suicide?

I got to thinking.......why is this select group almost always responsible for mass murder/suicide? You very rarely hear about other ethnic groups
committing these types of crimes.

I found this list of questions on the net which I will let speak for me as I wonder about this:

But this mass murder thing: why is it that white men seem to be the primary perpetrators in crimes like these? Why is there still a sense of shock
when it happens? How come there aren’t some studies being done to find out why this happens? Black on black crime has been said by some to be caused
by the deep levels of self-hatred African-Americans have. Black on white crime is said to be caused by long-held anger on the part of blacks. White on
black crime is credited to racism in many cases…but mass murder, perpetrated by white men on crowds of people, most of the time predominantly white,
has no reason given, or at least I haven’t heard the reason. Have I missed something?

The latest alleged murderer, James Holmes, has murdered at least 12 people as of this writing, including a three-month old baby. He came into a
crowded theater, released tear gas, and then opened fire. He apparently carried an arsenal of weapons, and he told police he had wired his apartment
to explode. He came dressed all in black, and he apparently shot with abandon, aiming at nobody, yet aiming at everyone. This young man, 24, is, or
was, a PhD candidate. I would assume he came from a fairly nice family, as “nice” is defined. So what happened?

This was written before the Connecticut shooting and was intriguing even at that point in time. As explained above, James Holmes was or is PhD
candidate which would seem to imply intelligence on a no lower than average level so what's the deal with this category of white men who commit mass
murder with suicide sometimes being the end result?

Because their successful fathers are testifying in the LIBOR scandal proceedings. Coincidence, I think not.
ETA: As is the case in the Sandy Hook, and Dark knight shootings. Lanza/Holmes. The kids are treated as a patsy.

Blacks have been lied to and mistreated. Their anger is generally aimed at white supression. It is reflected in their culture. While they may
perpetrate murders based on a certain hatred or dislike for whites/hispanics, they do not however wish to commit suicide, which is what these mass
murders basicly require. So, self preservation.

Rwanda, Chinese cultural revolution, hey it's not only white people who get homicidal. In American society it might have something to do with a lot
of factors. Entitlement, getting meds on their hmo's that black people can't afford, lots of causes rather than one. Hard to say. The linking factor
does seem to be mental health and medication.

Perhaps the greatest asset that unearned privilege conveys is the sense that public spaces “belong” to you. If you are—like James Holmes
last week, or Charles Whitman, who killed 16 people on the University of Texas, Austin campus in 1966—an American-born, college-educated white man
from a prosperous family, you don’t have a sense that any place worth being is off-limits to the likes of you. White men from upper middle-class
backgrounds expect to be both welcomed and heard wherever they go. When that sense of entitlement gets frustrated, as it can for a host of complex
psychological reasons, it is those same hyper-privileged men who are the most likely to react with violent, rage-filled indignation. For white male
murderers from “nice” families, the fact that they chose public spaces like schools, university campuses, or movie theaters as their targets
suggests that they saw these places as legitimately theirs.

Sooooooo.........privilege+extreme psychological problems?
I don't really believe or disbelieve this theory, just putting it out there

In drive bys, there is a motive which almost always points to revenge being taken out on the desired target. This is very different than the mass
murder of innocent people. Also, by it being done in driveby fashion indicates avoidance of capture. Not the usual suicide that goes along with it
in the cases I speak of.

That's not true, while a lot of the time revenge on a fellow gang is the goal, a good number of the shootings have been based on initiation right and
had to do with just shooting a human to show you have it in you. Both are horrible and neither way is less bad than the other so you have no point
anyway.

Mexican cartel members shoot up entire birthday partys full of women and kids... and pretty much anything else they can shoot up... im not sure it
has to do with race.. do you mean in the USA? even then their are so many drive by mass victim shootings from black and mexican and asian gangs...
